Thy Partner's Wife

DESCRIPTIONA Chauncey Means Novel

​Means To An End.

When ex-stripper Maureen Scoby asks private investigator Chauncey ‘Chance’ Means to find her husband, it isn’t just another routine missing-person case. Tom Scoby is a recovering drug addict on the brink of losing his badge and his marriage. He’s also Chance’s former-partner, and once took a bullet meant for him during a S.W.A.T. shootout.

But when a heist from a police evidence facility goes awry, and a cop turns up dead, all signs point to missing Sergeant Tom Scoby as the perpetrator. Chance suddenly finds himself searching not only for his one-time partner, but for forty million in stolen narcotics as well.

Chance soon discovers there are others searching for Scoby and the missing drugs; people willing to commit kidnapping and murder to find them. Soon Chance isn’t only trying to find his missing partner; he’s fighting to keep Maureen and her son safe from those who would stop at nothing to get their hands on the stolen dope. Complicating matters, is his growing attraction to Maureen. A distraction at a time when losing focus could mean losing his life.

To find Scoby, Chance must navigate the ultra-violent realm of California’s Serbian criminal underworld, and face-off with a merciless enemy whose cunning is matched only by his ruthlessness. ​
